Silver Nitrate Sticks

Silver nitrate sticks are used for cauterizing wounds and controlling bleeding in minor skin abrasions, cuts, or ulcers. They function by chemically burning and sealing blood vessels, thus preventing further bleeding and promoting healing. Often employed in the treatment of granulation tissue or warts, silver nitrate sticks also help reduce infection risk due to their antimicrobial properties. These sticks are a common tool in both medical and surgical settings for managing various minor dermatological conditions.
